41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: is about for the extension for about two years. Current

42
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: coverage is about to expire at the stroke of midnight

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,480

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Others will be left with no health care coverage at all,

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: a key sticking point for Democrats during the shutdown, the

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: President always maintained he would be willing to discuss Obamacare.

47
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: After the Democrats ended the historic walkout, the White House

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: says nothing is set in stone. Meantime, the President says

49
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: he's ready to talk with Venezuelan strongman President Nicolas Maduro.

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Axios reports this morning the pending discussion is on the table,

51
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: even after the US designates Maduro as the head of

52
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: a terrorist organization. The move is also designed to avoid

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: increasing tensions with a US military build up in the

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: region and the President's authorization of CIA covered operations on

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: the ground. The US military has taken out two dozen

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: suspected drug running vessels since Labor Day. More than eight

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: are dead. Getting started under cloudy skies in Boston on

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: this Tuesday morning. Here in the city, it is not

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: all that terrible outside. It is a little bit chilly.

60
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: We have several readings right around freezing this morning, but

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: we're well above that here in Boston at thirty eight degrees.

62
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: We're going to see mostly cloudy skies for much of

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: the daylight hours today, but it's going to remain dry.

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Highs will jump into the lower fifties. Now. Interesting thing

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: about tonight as the rain moves in. The showers could

66
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: be steady and sometimes could be heavy, but we are

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: anticipating temperatures to rise overnight. Tonight and tomorrow will settle

68
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: around sixty degrees. Not bad for a getaway for Thanksgiving Day,

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: but the only issue might be some lingering showers throughout

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: the morning and early afternoon. Otherwise it's mostly cloudy getaway

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: day tomorrow, and then back to some sunshine and much

72
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: chillier temperatures on Thanksgiving itself, with highs barely out of

73
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: the forties. Right now in Boston thirty eight gray skies

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: here in the city at six oh five on this

75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning. This will likely not come as a great

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: shock to you, but some MBT buses are running slower

77
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: than others. We all know the roads around here, lot

78
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: of traffic everything tlats, making for slower travel times in

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: Boston for folks on MBTA buses, particularly in areas of

80
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: the city where commuters rely most on bus service, according

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: to a new study from travel advocates Transit Matters. The

82
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: new report focuses on data from October twenty four and

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: finds the agency's slowest routes in Boston for twenty twenty

84
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: three only got slower their only choice, so they kind

85
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: of stuck with it with lower miles per hour ratings

86
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: and bus bunching when too many buses are on the

87
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: same route, which stalls out traffic. Yet, this rider says

88
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: there are trade offs. Certainly are a lot cleaner, and

89
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: it's certain to feel a lot safer than the train

90
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 2: and desk control over who gets on and off the bus.

91
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: Chris Fomman WBZ, Boston's news radio, and parents of school

92
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: students in Fitchburg and Leminster will be walking on eggshells

93
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: this Thanksgiving weekend. A school bus strike could extend the

94
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: weekend if drivers do not reach a new US union

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: contract agreement by Monday morning. Workers with First Student buses

96
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: and represented by the Teamsters Local one seventies say they

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: will begin their strike right after the holiday break. If

98
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: demands on a fair contract or not met by then.

99
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: Officials at Harvard College say there is no evidence of

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: hazing by members of the Harvard Radcliffe Student Orchestra, and

101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: investigation into allegations of policy violations during a retreat in

102
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 2: western Massachusetts in September turn up no indication that hazing

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: behavior crossed the line. But the student orchestra is not

104
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: off the hook entirely. The accusations claim a right of

105
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: initiation included walking blindfolded through rough terrain, with talk of

106
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: more severe activities that never materialized. The Harvard Radcliffe Orchestra

107
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: is not out of the woods just yet. Officials say

108
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: they did uncover proof of unauthorized student parties serving drinks

109
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: to underage students. Rock and Roll Icon visits Boston. Let's

122
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,000

123
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: Those songs, by the way, dirty Water, you think about it,

124
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: and Edge of seventeen go pretty well together.

125

Speaker 4: Well, that's probably why she's That's.

126
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,200
